DESCRIPTION Detailed enough for your students to use as an atlas and concise enough for efficient review, Human Gross Anatomy provides concentrated coverage of anatomy that promotes learning rather than rote memorization. Throughout the book, high quality cadaveric photographs and explanatory diagrams are presented side by side with to-the-point bulleted explanations to help students develop a true understanding of each anatomical structure. Addressing current curricula trends with a systemic approach to anatomy, consistently structured within regional chapters to reflect the structure used in dissection labs, this practical, user-friendly book highlights important muscle information through “action boxes” and uses color-coded labels for origin, insertion, and innervation. The book is accompanied by a complete image bank to enhance lecture and exam preparation. FEATURES f f The book’s consistent presentation (actual cadaveric dissection photos with pertinent labels that allow readers to view “real” human anatomy and color diagrams that clarify each structure’s purpose, along with high yield bulleted information beside the images) helps readers understand what’s shown in the photographs and visualize the relationships between structures. f f Organized to conform to the regional structure used in dissection labs, the book prepares students for future courses and clinical practice. f f Action boxes (yellow) and color-coding of labels for origin (red), insertion (green), and innervation (blue) provide muscle action and innervation information that aligns with photographs and illustrations, allowing students to make immediate visual connections. f f Comprehensive information on each structure is presented in a concise, bulleted format to facilitate reference and review. f f Summary Muscle Tables summarize muscle origin, insertion, and innervation information for quick reference and review. f f An introduction to systematic anatomy section provides students with an overview of the material. f f An introduction to terminology section helps students master the vocabulary of human gross anatomy and is ideal for quick review.
